Company Profile
As a part of Vallourec Group, VALLOUREC & MANNESMANN TUBES was founded in October 1997 as a joint venture between the French Vallourec Group (55% of shares) and the German Mannesmannroehren-Werke (45% of shares) joining together all their production units and marketing interests for seamless hot rolled tubes and threaded oilfield tubulars (OCTG). In 2005, the Vallourec Group took over the 45% stake previously held by Mannesmannrren-Werke GmbH and thereby increased its 55 percent holding to 100 percent.
During the past decade, V & M TUBES has increased its worldwide presence to more than 20 countries including USA, Brazil, Russia, China, etc.
VALLOUREC & MANNESMANN TUBES is a world leader in the production of seamless hot rolled steel tubes for all applications. The company's eight European tube mills (4 in France and 4 in Germany) and production sites in Brazil, USA and China (Vallourec & Mannesmann Changzhou Phase II in 2012) use state-of-the-art production processes. Our plants have a combined capacity of more than 3 million tons. Our tubes and pipes cover the world's largest range of dimensions for seamless steel tubes.
